All times in EST +10:30 for IST.

Here is the place for us to compile records created by individuals, groups, movies, songs, etc. Everybody can pitch in and in the end, we will have a list that can be permanently displayed in the TFMP. Please remember to limit to TFM and related matters only.

For maximum no of movies by actor/md combination,
may be sivaji/MSV will take the record. But what
I meant about kamal/IR combination is, they were
unbroken for almost a decade. I dont think ever
sivaji/MSV did that.

Hari,
Sivarathiri is by MV. I checked my CD too.
Oriental records has released it. That song was not included in the movie. I don't know why?

Least number of intstruments used in a song:
one song from Nammavar. I don't remember the song title.

Mano,
As someone pointed out (in some other thread), Balu Mahendra first worked with Salil Chowdhury before switching over to IR. He has stayed with him ever since ! Balu Mahendra also used L. Vaidyanathan for his tele-film "Sandhya Ragam"

The only modern-day actor to sing close to 45 songs': Kamal.
In addition to singing for himself, he has sung for other heroes like Mohan (Oh mAne mAne mAne)and Ajeet(UllAsam).

The only situation where an interlude for one song (Kamal film) is the same as the interlude of another song (Rajni film):
The songs are:
1. 'PoongAtru pudhithAnadu' (MoondrAm piRai) and
2. 'En VAzhvilE varum anbE vA' (Thambikku Entha Ooru)

The reason is: when 'MoondrAm piRai' was remade in Hindi as 'Sadma' it was replaced by a new song, "Ae Zindagi galE lagAle", for which the 2nd interlude of 'poongAtru' was reused (the interlude shows Kamal and Sridevi listening to the sound of the train keeping their ears glued to the tracks).

This new song came out so well in Hindi that it appeared later in Rajni's film as 'En vAzhvilE varum anbe vA'!

-The film `oru thalai rAgam' had no female voice at all, even though it had 7 songs, all big hits. (vAsamilla malaridhu, idhu kuzhandhai pAdum thAlAttu, ada manmadhan rakshikkanum, koodayila karuvAdu, nAnoru rAsiyillA rAjA, en kadhai mudiyum nEramidhu, kadavuL vAzhum kovililE)
-It also had the controversy of having two MDs in posters /promos initially (Rajendran-AA Raj) but later claimed to be all TR stuff.
-Usage of 4 different male voices in the same film, all for solos, could be another feature (similar feat: Johny with 4 female voices + 1 male, all solos)

athaney parthen. When IR is praised, can Trend be far behind? Whether he can contribute constructively to the DF or not, it another matter! IR should not be in the limelight! Does it not remind one of Subramaniam Swamy?!!

I don't have any personal bitter exp. over anything.Sarcasm is fun for me.I listen to IR a lot everyday.I love his music a lot.But I have priorities and when people don't respect that I have fun.Anyway enough of me.
